I have been reading a novel by an author named P.D. James. It is called "Shroud for a Nightengale." It is a mystery that takes place in a nursing school in England. The first person murdered is a student that is pretending to be a patient for a demonstration. They insert a gastric tube into her and give her warm milk. Unfortunately, it also apparently has poison in it too that someone put into the milk. I know that nursing students have to practice giving shots, drawing blood, taking temperatures, bps, pulse, etc. on one another. I was just wondering if you really have to actually have a gastric tube inserted as well. I really hope not. That would not be pleasant at all, even without the poison. I was also wondering what other uncomfortable procedures if any, nursing students have to endure. I figure it would be better to know than to spend the next year worrying about the unknown. Thanks in advance for sharing your experiences.
